The Property Management Agency of the City of Brussels is, among others, a rent office for housing. Since September 2007, a regulation fixes the procedures of allocation of the houses. These clear rules contain objective criteria. Since 1 February 2010, the regulation has been adapted:

Appeal against the decision of allocation

The regulation of 2007 did not contain the possibility of appeal if the candidate disputed the decision of allocation. The article 7bis was therefore added.

Houses created within district contracts

The Property Management Agency possesses 3 types of houses:

• Average housing
• Housing with framed rent
• Social housing built within the district contracts

The regulation for this last type of housing has been changed. Housing built within the framework of District contracts must, firstly, be reserved for the inhabitants of the perimeter of the contract. To avoid an overpopulation, as for example when households get bigger in the course of lease, it was noticed that all the new large-sized housing was granted to tenants who did not live within the perimeter of the district contract. Local residents were thus deprived of a house. Article 15 corrects this situation.
